Hamsters vs Guinea Pigs

    Hamsters and guinea pigs have been rivals for generations. Many of you will say that hamsters are better and many of you will say that guinea pigs are better. But opinions are opinions and you can't change them. Hamsters are smaller and guinea pigs tend to be larger. It depends what people like and that's what make these two ultimate rivals.


                                                      Hamsters
       There are many pros and cons for hamsters. But the most famous reason why people buy them is because they are cute and adorable. People don't buy them because they bite substantially. There are many ways hamsters can be judged. By their looks, by their actions, and by their texture. Hamsters are much smaller, which makes people want to buy them. People don't like to do a whole lot of work, and just like to keep things small and neat. The bad news is that hamsters stuff their cheeks. When they are eating food, they keep the food in their cheeks which is not good. Hamsters still make great pets, even though their are some bad things about them.



                                                        Guinea Pigs
  Listen.... I am an expert at these creatures. I have one of my own. People buy guinea pigs because they are cute and chubby. Well, that is the main reason. Also guinea pigs are very obedient. They will run away if they feel threatened. They will not bite unless they are hungry. The bad part is that they get hungry a lot. So you have to keep feeding them and feeding them. I think they very cute, but you might not. Guinea pigs love to have company with them. They get very lonely if they are left alone. The life span for a guinea pig is about 5 to 8 years. ( It's longer than you think!) So guinea pigs make really great pets which makes great competitors with hamsters.
